CFP: Enhancing Nursing Ed (Conference)

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS ON ENHANCING NURSING EDUCATION

Sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the 2010 Conference on Enhancing Nursing Undergraduate Teaching and Learning in the Clinical Setting: What do we know and how do we move forward? will be held October 19-21, 2010 in Arlington, VA. This working-group conference will bring together today’s nursing education and practice thought leaders to share best practices and insights regarding academic-practice partnerships, clinical faculty expansion and development, and non-traditional practice settings. Individuals are invited to submit abstracts for presentation that describe new knowledge or lessons learned based on the following themes: Building effective educational-clinical partnerships; clinicians as faculty members; and strengthening clinical skills and clinical education. Abstracts may address evidence-based practice, quality improvement, clinical reasoning/critical thinking, and other areas. The conference will include presentations, posters, and facilitated roundtable sessions. Conference abstracts – which must be no more than 500 words – are due by 5:00 pm PST (8:00 pm EST) on August 2, 2010. For details, including how to submit abstracts, contact Aram Dobalian at Aram.Dobalian@va.gov .
